Hello FAST!

 

Exciting news – The Walt Disney Company announced a cage-free commitment for China and Hong Kong locations. Disney has pledged to be fully cage-free for both shell and liquid eggs by 2030. Compassion in World Farming has been working with Disney for over four years. We view this policy as a great first step and will continue to work with Disney to ensure combination/limited access systems are not included in its supply chain, as well as expand Disney’s commitment to a true global policy throughout the world.

 

Timeline: CIWF has been working with Disney since 2020 in the APAC region.

 

Groups involved: Compassion in World Farming, The Accountability Board, Mercy For Animals, The Humane League, and Humane Society International

  • CIWF apologizes for excluding any other groups that were in contact with Disney – we are going off the engagement on Slack! We know this was a coalition effort and are excited to jointly celebrate on behalf of hens.

 

CIWF has celebrated this news on our website here and here, as well as social media channels:

 

Congratulations to everyone working on this win!!

Following confirmation of a HPAI outbreak at a Maricopa County facility affecting 2.3 million egg-laying hens, Animal Outlook's investigator travelled to Arizona to record depopulation efforts at Hickman's Eggs in Tonopah. The footage shows piles of dead birds being poured into dump trucks by wheel loaders scooping out huge barns and workers without personal protective equipment covering their eyes, face, and mouth. Animal Outlook's investigation was picked up by Newsweek and press across the state. Thanks to Dr. Crystal Heath of Our Honor for her expert guidance.  Following the investigation, Hickman's, which is the largest egg producer in the Southwest and the 16th largest egg producer in the US overall, announced it was shutting down the vast majority of its operations for two years after admitting that bird flu had impacted six million of the birds in its facilities.  https://animaloutlook.org/investigations/hickmans-eggs-investigation/
